That’s helpful thanks. (Wonder how @belfastcitizen.bsky.social made such an error? Don’t tell them!) #BobbinInHand

Two Carnegie plants! A Cactus and a Hyacinth - what a legacy (alongside 2,500 free libraries…)

One of many fabulous art pieces by Leah Corbett after her period in residence with us - wonderfully sardonic bookmarks on the the theme of Andrew Carnegie’s mantra: ‘Consistent Happiness’. Thanks Leah!

Well done Kerry Freud for your triumph of the #DromoreLinenFestival today! A raft of exhibits, displays, talks, workshops and demonstrations - accompanied by great foodie options, stalls, music and a delightful autumnal sun… Tradition pivoting into the future!

Nice linkages to our library past, our linen heritage and Carnegie’s own back story (family weaving!) #BacktoLife
